Eddie Jackson

With the struggles of Kizer comes statistically the worst quarterback in the NFL. He leads the league in interceptions by a wide margin and his own teammates thinks that the coaching has mentally broken him. It is a bad situation in Cleveland.

It is one that the Bears need to take advantage of. Eddie Jackson has been the player to step up and make splash plays in the back end. With Kizer, he is prone to missing passes high. This is where Jackson can come in and make plays, finding the ball and finding his way into the end zone.

Jackson, like Kizer, is a rookie and has a chance to show the quarterback that he has progressed into the NFL quicker than his peer. If it is not Jackson making a play, an interception by Kyle Fuller would be major in his perception as a player and his free agency stock. The back end has to make a play in this game, and what they do in this game will help them build toward next season.
